Extended Data Fig. 2

a, b, The disk model with warp (a) and without warp (b). The intensity scale is arbitrary. The nth contour represents 50 × 2n% (n = −5, −4, −3, −2, −1, 0). c, d, Results of pseudo-observations of the disk models with warp (c) and without warp (d) using the same u,v-pattern as in the actual observation; the images are obtained by tapering the u,v data to give a round-shaped beam. The nth contour represents 20 × 2nσ (n = 0, 1, …), where 1σ means 0.12 mJy per beam. e, f, Pseudo-observations of the disk models with warp (e) and without warp (f) by using the same u,v-pattern in the actual observation. The nth contour represents 20 × 2nσ (n = 0, 1, …), where 1σ means 0.09 mJy per beam. In c–f, the total flux within the 20σ contour is scaled to the flux within the same region of the observed 0.9-mm dust continuum emission. See Methods section ‘Effect of the limited distribution of the u,v data’ for further details.
